"Real Photo" of BlackBerry 10 Full Touchscreen Phone Emerges!

Does this device look familiar? If you've been following along with all the BlackBerry 10 fun the last few months it should -- It looks pretty damn close to the image we first leaked back in January of what was rumored to be the first BlackBerry 10 full touchscreen phone. This image here comes via Twitter from @TyC4all who says it's the "first image of the pre-commercial version".

We're not sure where it's from or when it was taken, but it looks awesome. You can just make out the BlackBerry branding on the bottom as well as the top speaker and front camera. It does resemble the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha a bit, but looks more refined. No saying if it's the final hardware but we'd be happy with it. It's definitely something we're looking forward too.

Zero character. Bland. No style whatsoever. Hopefully the back (and top/bottom) portion will come in a variety of colors/textures to give it something, anything. This looks like a phone you'd design as a pre-production tool/die model. looks like they never finished it. Like a model airplane/car before the stickers/paint are put on. I digress. Horrible.

I figured this would drop soon. Its about the right time for spy pics to start showing up. lol Looks nice, cant wait to try it out in the store to see if I become a touchscreen guy instead of a physical keyboard guy. Way to go RIM!

That's what he just said. The screen size won't change though. It will be the same screen size with different resolution on high end devices. The mid range and low end devices will most likely be smaller dimmensions but I will stick with the high end.

Well unfortunately they really need to get with the times. They're not gonna survive putting out mediocre phones with low-grade hardware. They need to put out phones that either equal what's out or blow right passed them in performance. There's supposed to be a QWERTY version coming also so if you don't like this one, you might be pleasantly surprised with that one. I personally love this and I hope BB10 helps dig BB outta this grave they've dug.

RIM has already released the stat's on what screen resolutions will be.
this phone from my understanding will be 768p (1366*768). However, future phones and the keyboard phone will adhere to 720p standard. the next touchscreen phoen will be 1280x720 and the keyboard phone 720x720.

so this should have a 359.99 PPI. and future phones 340ppi. good enough for me!

Not with this they wont compared to whats out there at present and whats to come by december. Looks like an android from 3 years ago. You got to take those rosey Rim glasses off. if you beleive the average consumer is going to line up in droves for this compared to what the sgiii sold up to date for example your kidding yourself and in store for an ugly beat down from the harsh reality of it selling as poorly as the playbook. Only saving grace of Rim will be the qwerty if it looks anything similer to the 9900 or better.

Syrous44- first off, S111 is Android. No security. None. No battery life. Quad core? No battery life. iOS? Copied from QNX. Boring, as well. Snapdragon S4 PRO = huge power, good battery life. BB X = awesome!
They will sell very well, because we're all going to buy one or two.
Then, so will everybody else.

We will see the average consumer is about looks and style, reason why samsung is smoking everyone ins smartphone sales. Look at htc loosing market share amd stock value as their designs are old and bland. I am not trolling or hating. I am realist, conusmers buy on style reason why iphone sells and sells despite os getting old and boring. I understand your a bb fan, but most average consumers will pass over this ugly uninspired design. People buy on first impressions.

The jack is fairly chunky. The microUSB & microHDMI ports on the Dev Alpha are the most clumsy bits on it from a sheer device design standpoint.

Now, from the vid we saw from that Italian site, we at least have some sense that the sim and SDHC (XC? Please?) slots are buried under the battery hatch, so at least they'll be hidden, but I wonder about the external connectors.

Same! I have no problems with this, But i would have loved the phone to look like the playboook mini, so they could be "brothers". just kind of fits in the family if they all shared similar styling in queues.

if this is the design they're going, Which isn't bad. I would love to see one like the London preview picture we saw, with the top and bottom bezel a different colour than one big black rectangle. Maybe it's juwst me. But i love the Chrome + black look. add some chrome accents and RIM CAN HAVE MY MONEY

No offense meant but if you're really thinking. People do not use their trackpad to take pictures.The image reflected on the screen of the phone is the back of the device taking picture of it. Its a galaxy note.

I do wish Kevin would just confirm whether or whether not this is indeed the same model phone that he held in his hands and tested.
Of course then he'd probably wind up missing..

I'm not super in love with it. But oh yeah.. I'm buying that! I would much prefer RIM made an elegeant Bold looking vertical slider phone.. But this will suffice. And besides it does look better than any Android offering.. Even if it does have a Knight Rider/Batman look to it. :)

Nice - at first glance. But I have some questions. 1. Why is everything under the glass? Looks like they laid a sheet of glass on top of the entire front of the phone, camera, screen, ear piece and all.

Earpiece is above the glass. As for the other items, look at your BB7 devices. LED and Camera are both under glass. Playbook has the LED and front camera under the glass.

As for everyone else complaining about the look, their is only so much you can do with an all touch phone without risking upsetting the legal gods on Mount Cupertino! Personally I think this looks nice and I don't want a super flashy phone. Simple elegance!

With the software running with a lit screen a lot of these "I don't like" comments will vanish. Its does look like an android but who cares...RIM has no choice but to leak something now iphone5 around the corner along with a quad core galaxy note. I expect to see more bb10 leaks in the coming weeks/days.

What you might be seeing is the ambient sensor,front facing camera and LED notification. The speaker is definately not under the glass.I'm confident the build quality will be great and solid in the hand!However,this may not be the final device.We don't need the Starship Enterprise fellas.....we need a funtional device that blows your mind with the user experience! Let's not forget there is supposed to be a monster under the hood with a silky smooth transmission.... we would be surprised how appealing this phone becomes with the right ads and marketing leading up to the launch date!GO RIM GO!!!

Hate to say it but i bought a used htc amaze... And i have been more productive on it than on my 9900 + playbook combo :( ... And the worst part is that i actually love the phone. Come on RIM hurry up.

yeah I'm kind of with you. It's ok but not anything to really get worked up over.. My favourite concept to date has been the Blade slider.. Remove the buttons and track slide on the front and you have one sexy new BB10 phone..

I like it, dont know why Everyone's saying they hate the look of it, compare it to the blackberry your running now, cause I'm sure it's a lot better then that, and we can't see the back and or sides. Can't wait to have one

actually. I think if the Torch 9850/60 had a glass screen I think it would be awesome. I love the design of the Torches. And the new Bolds are also beautiful. I do wish that RIM would have kinda gone the route of the galaxy nexus with the screen resolution and use the bottom part of the phone just for the menu overlays.

There's not really much you can do with a big full screen touch phone though is there? Once you get above 4" screen diameter, they're all gonna look pretty much the same. Big candy bar with lots of screen. Not sure what people are expecting. I like the look so far.

I'm just glad it ain't that silly silver bezel plasticy thing we saw a while ago.

The key will be how it feels in the hands... hopefully it's got a good weight and feels solid.

And why are these "leaked" photos always taken with the crappiest cameras. Must have been a Bold 9900 camera. ;) Heh heh. (and yes, I have a Bold 9900)

Agree with you there... I don't understand why folks are complaining. I believe because folks expectations are SOO HIGH that anything brought would disappoint. I watched and saw many folks complain about Crackberry not releasing leaks and not saying more than what they have already said. Yet, leaks come out, and the complaining continues.

Folk need to chill. It's hardware and software, wait til RIM shows it off. Wait til it's held in the hand before making judgements.

Bla1ze has been my measuring stick, of all the CB contributors, I think he has been most vocal with his criticism and if he was impressed I knew RIM did something good.

So far, loving the leaks and knowing that the launch is growing closer and closer.

I agree with . There is a time that all the designes are on the market. For me important is that blackberry do same they do with bold 9900 a nice bezel no plastic please...samsung is the king of plastic or htc or motorola....this full touch story for me is a wong way....good luck my lovely blackberry

* BlackBerry by choice *
What I find interesting here is what's in the reflection. Whatever it is has a trackpad on it. As there are no current BlackBerry's that have a front camera on them, wonder what that is..... Hmm.....

Yeah as had been said many times, no trackpad on the BB10 phones so agreed there. But when I zoomed in, it's pretty squared off to be a camera lens and it's centered just like a trackpad would be so I'm still not sure what to think here.

Very true. Galaxy Note it is. I stand corrected. In fairness, it's RIM's fault for making us wait so long. We're associating any square with a trackpad and trying to make a BB10 phone out of just about anything. Myself included.

I have a 9900 and like the metal sides. I also have an htc amaze which has an aluminum battery cover and has a nice weight to it. Htc has been creative in designing within the confines of a candybar form factor.

"Under the Agreement, Motorola and RIM will benefit from a long-term, intellectual property cross-licensing arrangement involving the parties receiving cross-licenses of various patent rights, including patent rights relating to certain industry standards and certain technologies, such as 2G, 3G, 4G, 802.11 and wireless email. In addition, the parties will transfer certain patents to each other."

I'm not saying I do not like, but I think I was expecting something more original. The Torch full touch for example, has more sinuous lines, and in some ways more attractive. However, this is a beautiful piece of engineering, but I think I'll wait the version with the physical keyboard.

yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!I like this!!Plus they said before that keyboard version would look very like 9900 and the clarification that the app screen leaked before was not the final version..I am truly getting excited about BB10!

After a couple minutes of Forensic Photoshopping I can tell you it is a camera lens with a silver squared-off bezel around it and a LED flash toward the bottom. The rounding of the top corners also match in perfect proportion from the device to the reflection, so I'm convinced this is a picture of the front and back of the same device.

Is it only me but isn't this suspiciously close to the "iClone5" launch? Wouldn't be surprised if this was leaked to help highlight how the model in question measures up in similarities to the purported pics and video of the iPhone5.Now everyone is buzzing iPhone clone....Let's stop for a minute and think......This pic was leaked since January...Couldn't be an iPhone then...Agree?Especially if the iPhone is launching in September! One thing we can count on Apple to do and that's stick to their regularly schedule marketing strategy.Ok then, if this is indeed the "London" and the ever so "Mighty" iPhone boasts similar characteristics in September...what does that say about RIM?Why would people make an Apple event out of this and not embrace this as the new RIM?

"HOT!" What are you talking about? You can't tell ANYTHING about how this phone will look from that picture! What, just because it's a new BB, it's "HOT!?" Give me a break; I have never seen so many people get so excited about so little. Let's get excited when we can actually tell what this phone looks like. They post a "black object" and everybody goes whacky...sounds like iSheep.
Me, I will really get excited when BB can produce a BIG screen, LTE phone with at least 1.5-2 processor and 2 gigs of RAM.
